In the past, “Real Housewives of Atlanta” fans couldn’t get enough of NeNe Leakes and Kim Zolciak’s tumultuous relationship. However, after Kim left the show after Season 10 of the series, she was able to repair her friendship with NeNe.

Although fans have either loved or hated NeNe and Kim’s relationship, the 52-year-old Swagg Boutique owner recently revealed she believes her current castmates would never allow Kim to return to the Bravo series.

During an appearance on The Daily Dish podcast, NeNe admitted she would like to see Kim come back to the show, but doesn’t think her co-stars would welcome the “RHOA” veteran back. “They don’t agree, for a couple of reasons,” Nene explained.

“One is Kim is an OG, and I think these girls really, really have an issue with OGs. Kim’s an OG, and she’s gonna get a little bit more respect from people than they might get, and I think they have an issue with that.”

Nonetheless, NeNe believes Kim’s return would be great for the show’s popularity. “You know Kim, you know she’s not backing down. So, she’s gonna be arguing with everybody. Everybody. Including me,” she revealed.

However, due to the drama that took place during “Real Housewives of Atlanta” Season 10, NeNe doesn’t think Kim would want to return to the series. “I don’t know if Kim would ever come back. It was a lot for her the last time she was here,” she said.

During “RHOA” Season 10, NeNe accused Kim of being racist after her daughter, Brielle Biermann, shared a video of “roaches” in NeNe’s bathroom.

After the explosive Season 10 reunion, a source told Us Weekly Kim left the show after her castmates refused to film with her following her controversial feud with NeNe. “Kim and Bravo agreed she wouldn’t come back. None of the girls will film with her. They refuse,” the insider said.

Despite NeNe’s wishes, Bravo has not announced any plans for Kim to return to “The Real Housewives of Atlanta.”
